São Sebastião do Passé

São Sebastião do Passé is a municipality in the Greater Salvador metropolitan region of Bahia state, combining residential areas with smaller industrial operations and service centers. The town integrates into the broader network of communities surrounding the state capital.

The municipality gained independence as an administrative entity in 1931, emerging from a small settlement into an organized district. This founding moment marked the start of its modern development within Bahia's regional structure.

The name reflects a local religious devotion to Saint Sebastian that shapes community celebrations and gatherings throughout the year. This spiritual connection runs through the town's social fabric and influences how locals organize their shared events.

The municipality is accessible from central Salvador and offers basic urban services through its local administrative centers. Visitors can find shops, schools, and health facilities distributed across the community for their needs.

The place had a predominantly agricultural character for many years before industry and services established themselves in the 20th century. This transformation from a rural community into a modern economic hub shapes how locals understand their hometown today.
